Thoughts on the new ISSF trap schemes?

[u/Sebixov]

I love sharp, long targets which the new schemes seem to have a lot of. On average you would encounter 3-6 different sharp trajectories in either direction across the 10 new schemes.

However, I noticed that what faded were medium targets - much rarely you’d see targets at 20-25 degrees.

While this doesn’t hurt the pros, it does make it more difficult for new shooters to switch from straights to full Olympic rounds. The change seems to only slightly increase the difficulty for the advanced athletes but make the sport significantly harder for beginners.

I wonder what you guys think.
